            In 5 years when the next model comes out they will be wishing it had the soul of a F30.

                They are also making this in a 320xi version....very interesting!
                Your 325ix is not comparable to the 320i. Look at the 335ix for a price comparison.

                    right, everyone can criticize a car they have not driven.

                            I LOVE the interior, clean and modern with CUP HOLDERS!
                            Not a fan of the kidneys, that is about it. Looks SO much better than most cars made now days. I do have to say Audi makes one fantastic looking car. But they are kinda lacking lines(roundish).

                                Sounds good to me! I spec'd out a 328i with M sport pkg and it was right around 40k for everything I wanted. A little bit outside my budget... Too bad I'll be in a new Subaru BRZ before this hits the market (if it hits the market)!

                                    1977 deja vu 320i. Much nicer this time around.

                                        Most of the N20 engine components share the same part numbers. The power decrease is done probably through tuning alone. That would be the most cost-effective method for BMW. But there's rumor that the 320i has a different (higher) compression ratio.

                                        Theres already 300hp tunes for the N20 in the 328i. Looks like some tunes are only a few hundred bucks and take minutes to do.
